Never thought about that one, in flash you had onReleaseOutside events but here we don't seem to have this.

The only thing I can think of is placing the button in a panel. there you have X & Y coordinated from where the press and release happends.

But that will make you probject more complex.


Edit: I tried this but that didn't help either, it still causes an up event when leaving the button, which is actually correct

In several apps I use Panels instead of buttons and manage all in the Touch event.
Knowing the x and y coordinates you know where you are and can handle according to it.
I use it to display tooltips:
- in DOWN I display the tooltip
- in MOVE I check if the 'finger' is in the Panel area or not and change the tooltip.
- in UP I execute the function if the 'finger' is inside the Panel and do nothing when outsides. This allows the user to check what the button does without executing the function.

Checking the time between DOWN and UP you can simulate Click and LongClick events.

Best regards.
